Lord, he’s such a cute and sweet baby… Please don’t let him die! At this very moment, little Demetre is battling for his life in an intensive care unit in a Turkish hospital. He is on a ventilator, fighting to survive. His only chance to live depends on whether kind people step forward to help fund his life-saving treatment.

Nato, Demetre’s mother (31 years old): “Demetre is 1 year and 8 months old.  He sleeps all the time… He doesn’t even have the strength to cry. Doctors said it was a rare complication from a routine vaccination – a reaction so rare that it happens to only a few children out of a million. In Georgia, they couldn’t determine the exact diagnosis. So we didn’t waste time and took him to Turkey immediately.  Right now, we have exhausted all our financial resources. Our only hope is for kind people to help save our boy.”

Doctors have confirmed that Demetre’s brain is damaged. Worse still, one of his lungs has failed, forcing them to put him on a ventilator immediately. 

The cruel hand of death took away Salome and Luka’s beloved mother forever. The poor woman lost her battle with cancer. After their mother’s death, the bright eyes of the siblings dimmed. The smile disappeared from the kind eyes of these angels. And immeasurable sorrow took root in their hearts. The souls of these children ache, their very souls… But humanity has not yet found a cure to heal such pain, and perhaps nothing ever will.

Having lost his mother, 11-year-old Luka tries to help his sister with the housework. The child sweeps the yard in a thin sweater in the freezing winter cold because he has no warm clothes. His little body trembles from the cold, but the fire in his heart burns bright. Only an orphaned child can truly understand the unbearable pain of losing a mother.

After their mother’s death, 13-year-old Salome prepares dinner for her brother. Salome was only 10 years old when she saw her beloved mother’s lifeless body. Even an adult would struggle to endure such a horrific scene. Now imagine a 10-year-old girl witnessing her mother being buried with her own eyes. Oh God, oh God, how did this little angel’s heart endure such horror?

Imagine a strong, healthy man suddenly losing his strength, rapidly losing weight, and becoming weaker before your eyes. Irakli suffered from excruciating headaches that sometimes caused him to lose consciousness. Medical examinations brought devastating news—a malignant brain tumor, medulloblastoma.

Doctors removed a massive tumor from his brain, one that was draining life out of him. The surgery was successful. After that, he endured 28 rounds of radiation therapy. And just when it seemed that the worst was behind him, the disease-stricken young man was dealt another blow! The cancer had spread to his bones. Now, it is slowly consuming his body from the inside! What does this mean? It means the nightmare has returned, and everything must start over again.

Irakli (31 years old): “I can’t sit or lie down. My legs, lower back, spine, and shoulders are in constant pain! The pain is driving me insane! The painkillers only work for a couple of hours, and I sometimes need up to six injections a day.  I can’t sleep at night. How much longer can I endure this?”

The constant pain and tension have caused his blood pressure to rise. His condition worsens with each passing day.

How long can children survive on just bread and water? This terrifying question haunts the mother of two-year-old Ilya and five-year-old Gio.  Friends, our beneficiaries from the village of Baisubani in the Lagodekhi Municipality live in extreme poverty barely surviving.  Aza is raising her two little sons alone. Their father provides neither financial support nor emotional warmth. The family’s social allowance isn’t even enough for food, so Aza has to buy groceries on credit. The debt has already reached 800 GEL, and she has no way to pay it off.

Aza, mother (29 years old): “Gio has a hernia.  He often suffers from severe pain in his lower abdomen, crying, and I can’t soothe him.  The worst part is that I have no money to take him to a doctor or buy him medicine. I don’t know what to do.”

Aza: “Gio is my biggest helper, and it hurts even to think that something might happen to him. Please help us get him examined!”

Just imagine the nightmare that this child and his mother are going through right now. With your support, their suffering could soon end! Don’t put off doing good—help Gio today!

His name is Duda, and he is only four years old. He and his mother live in a field near the village of Vanta, in a small, hut surrounded by forest. Yes, you heard that right – this little boy is growing up in complete isolation, with no one around but farm animals. But what’s even worse is that his life is constantly in danger—wild animals could emerge from the forest at any moment, and… well, you can imagine the rest. In this abandoned and terrifying place, the boy lives with his mother, who is a second-degree disabled person. Nino, 39, is a single mother. At 16, she was in a terrible accident that left her disabled for life. She cannot walk without a cane. Her legs are deformed, and even with a cane, every step is a struggle. Yet, despite her severe health problems, she is raising her son alone.

The twins’ mother had a difficult pregnancy, as she was diagnosed with hydronephrosis (a kidney condition). At seven months pregnant, the young woman underwent a complex surgery, during which a stent was placed in her kidney. A needy woman from Akhaltsikhe came to one of the clinics in Tbilisi with money she had barely managed to save. Doctors warned that, due to the stent, the delivery had to be by C-section, as natural birth could be life-threatening for the babies.

But the poor mother could not afford to stay at the clinic under medical supervision until delivery. And do you know why? Because of wretched poverty. She had no choice but to return to Akhaltsikhe. And that’s when hell began—for both the mother and the poor twins.

A doctor in one of Akhaltsikhe’s clinics decided that a woman with a kidney stent could give birth naturally to two children. You can probably guess the rest… Yes, due to the difficult delivery, the babies suffered from asphyxia. Their brains were damaged. That irresponsible doctor slept peacefully at home that night. The next day, he dared to say to the grieving mother: “Why are you crying? Your children were born sick. Why do you even need such children?” Yes, those were the very words of the doctor responsible for their lives and health.
